Lucky is an experience that you don’t know

Why are so many viewers always struggling with Monica's good and bad issues? The title is obviously summer with monika (summer with monika)

In addition, Monica's performance after marriage is more suitable for girls from this family. Harry has been expecting a stable new family to fight for because he lost his mother since he was a child, but the trivial life day after day is simply the end of the world for Monica. Her outlook on life is to escape from reality rather than build reality. Therefore, their final disintegration is not a question of character, age or an affair, but because they are two completely different people.

In the classic line at the end of the play, Monica cried and said why some people are lucky and some are unlucky. Harry comforted her, "But we still love each other!" In fact, they may not realize that they are the happiest people at this time.

Bergman had made it very clear at the end. Harry was gazing at him with his little daughter, reminiscing about Monica's exposed ketone body by the sea in the summer. The best moment in life is to have youth, freedom and love at the same time. The ketone body that shines in the sun is a symbol of transitivity.

I suddenly remembered my mentor who recommended me to see Bergman and said that people dare not admit it, but the truth is often that the time when life is truly happy is very short. For Harry, the moment that evokes the softest beauty and love in his heart is that afternoon when he gets along with Monica on the summer beach.

    No matter in looks or figure, Monica may not be considered good-looking. But the beauty she exudes can't even be "good-looking". Monica's beauty is not so much about her own characteristics as it is about the movie itself. That provocative face to the camera = close-up of our gaze... the naked body walking on the rock, the plump buttocks in the trembling back... the raw visual touch that no other art can reach.

    The biggest regret of this year’s Shanghai Film Festival is that I didn’t like Bergman. I was a little scared of him when I watched "The Seventh Seal". After 1989, I saw this one a little lighter and thought it would be a good one. At the beginning, the result is still not working. The girl has a sexy and lively side, but such charm is not enough for her to be like this. It's a pity, because there are passages I like in the film, but I can't like the protagonist and the whole story. The way of telling the story did not feel any strength. Did it reflect the living conditions or social outlook of certain young people in society at that time? It seems that there is no such intention. The heroine reminds me of the girl in "The Pig and the Warship", she is also a bit capable of doing things, and she has a strong and inspiring vitality, which can be described by the word "vigorous", and more importantly, she "made" Those things are supported by her inner motivation. Maybe I really can't understand Bergman~~

Summer with Monika quotes

  • Harry Lund: You see - I've always been so lonely. My mother got sick when I was five. She was sick until she died. I was eight by then. Dad went a bit funny after that. He got all quiet. He and I would sit at home all evening, neither saying a word. We'd just sit there.

    Monika Eriksson: I've never been alone. There's so many of us. The brats fight and wreck everything. Dad's always drunk and kicking up a fuss.

  • Monika Eriksson: Harry, why do some people have all the luck while others are miserable?

    Harry Lund: Monika, we have each other.
